Jessie Reyez Announces Fourth Studio Album "A Little Vengeance," Out June 12

Jessie Reyez has not slowed down. Two singles, a surprise EP, a Grammy collab, and a poetry volume on the USA Today bestseller list, all in 2026. On Monday, the Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter added one more item to that list: a fourth studio album titled "A Little Vengeance," set for release on June 12 through FMLY/Island Records.

The announcement lands at what may be the most consistent stretch of Reyez's career. The Colombian-Canadian artist out of Toronto built her name on unfiltered songwriting and a vocal style that Billboard has called her own kind of signature, raw enough to feel like confession, controlled enough to feel like performance. Her 2025 album "Paid in Memories" featured more than 20 tracks and collaborations with Ari Lennox, Big Sean, Miguel, Lil Yachty, 6LACK, Lil Wayne, and Deyaz. Her debut record, "Before Love Came to Kill Us," has since been certified Gold by the RIAA, and her second album, "Yessie," was shortlisted for the 2023 Polaris Music Prize, according to Rolling Stone.

Jessie Reyez and Muni Long Push "A Little Vengeance" Into Motion

The lead-up to the album has arrived in pieces. Last week, Reyez released "Ain't U Tired?" alongside Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Muni Long. The track pairs both artists over a slow-moving piano arrangement, their voices trading lines across a theme of acceptance and inevitability. It follows "N.Y.F.F.," a sharp-edged kiss-off to a dishonest ex that dropped in April, and "$till Paid," a five-track EP released in March that revisited material from "Paid in Memories" and included a remix featuring British rapper Stormzy, a BRIT Award winner.

The pacing is not accidental. Reyez closed out a world tour behind "Paid in Memories" before beginning this run of releases. She performed at Lollapalooza 2024 in Brazil, Argentina, and Chile, joined Jhené Aiko's Magic Hour Tour for arena dates across the United States, and played Corona Capital in Mexico City, building live momentum in markets where her fanbase has grown steadily.

Career depth fuels album anticipation

The Album Arrives on the Back of Years of Behind-the-Scenes Work

Reyez has also maintained a parallel career as a songwriter for other artists, writing for Dua Lipa, Sam Smith, Kehlani, LISA of BLACKPINK, and Calvin Harris. That side of her work has largely stayed out of headlines, but it informs the craft visible in her own catalog. As Billboard has noted, she was named the 2024 Women in Music Trailblazer Award winner by Billboard Canada and recognized as a Visionary Voice by TikTok during Latin Heritage Month.

Her poetry series has added another dimension to that public profile. "Words of a Goat Princess II: The People's Purge," the second volume of her ongoing series, was already out before the album announcement, and the first volume had previously reached the USA Today bestseller list. Those releases sit alongside her music as part of a single, continuous body of work, not a side project.

Singles like "Imported," featuring 6LACK, and "Figures" both carry double-platinum certifications from the RIAA. A song she recorded for the "Bob Marley: One Love" soundtrack won a Grammy in the Best Reggae Album category. The list keeps building.

"A Little Vengeance" arrives June 12. After the pace she has set this year, the only real question is what she has been holding back for the record itself.
